FTP issue. Fixed.

[Isaac]

So I've checked my ftp login sessions on cpanel. There are none.

I've done this thousands of times before, yet...

I can't login to any of my ftp accounts through the ftp command or through ubuntu's "connect to server" button, under "places".

Is there a chance my server has shut down all ftp connections in reaction to an attempted hack? I mean, that's what my python programs do, that I write. If so, should I just wait or try to reset it? If not, what is it?

this is on a hosted account? if the answer is no, you have no justification for using ftp.

How else do I run my website?

If you have local access, can you just edit the files straight up?

[Spidey]

Is your host Verizon, because I recently got a message from them stating that “due to security reasons” they are no longer allowing server access via ftp.

You now have to use their stupid control panel.

SSH and SFTP.

[Isaac]

Everybody, it's a hosted account with no ssh access... .


Anyway, it's working now for no reason.

You scared it.

Actually it's now slow as ★■◆●. I'm going to have to complain to my provider. I tested my system on a different ftp server and there was no problems so I'm like 89% sure it's the server and not my computer.

Well, here's my support ticket...

Hello. My ftp can login, but hangs when I try to do anything.

try connecting to

Name: ------------
password: --------

If you connect using the ftp terminal you should be able to connect, but when you run a dir or ls command it should hang until it times out.

I tried connecting on other machines on other networks using different methods and I'm 88% sure it's the ftp server acting up.


As always, no rush!
Thanks.

It was nothing. Admin did a few adjustments everything works as it did.
